I get the idea of wanting physical representations of media and not relying on streaming services but cassette tapes were terrible.
You always have to fiddle on with the magnetic tape because something would always happen to it. It would get twisted up or unspooled or something.
At least with vinyl you never have to put up with the player randomly breaking the medium.
The only good thing about cassette tapes was that recording onto them was trivial, whereas with CDs you needed relatively expensive hardware and it was slow.
Wont mean much to me unless quartz tape heads are put into them again or something at least midquality. I am still having issues maintaining my old walkmans and nothing today is comparable. Seems my flywheels bust every month. Honestly this just makes me remember why we stopped this shit lol and I love it to be clear
